The Experimental Republic of Nothern Fores is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by President Expie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.191 billion Foresians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neeluia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.8%.

The frighteningly efficient a Foresian economy, worth a remarkable 2,024 trillion Ƶ Zorlexas a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 326,929 Ƶ Zorlexas, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Nearsighted shoppers looking for probiotics end up purchasing a lot of prophylactics, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, agricultural employees work for peanuts, and whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nothern Fores's national animal is the Snow Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Nothern Fores is ranked 33,061^st in the world and 71^st in Christians for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,547.35 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
